Archdaily showcases Cocoon House in Hanoi
VOV.VN -The innovative makeover of a Victorian-style red brick row house in the expensive New Urban area of Hanoi has created a lantern-like home that's dramatic and full of light.

Landmak Architecture has showcased the project on Archdaily, showing the eye-opening remodel of a row house, which had become neglected following the economic crisis. |
 |
|
The architects say they wanted the house to be "reborn, with a new form. The layout of the original house was "clustered and complicated", so opening up the space was important. |
 |
|
The ventilated blockwork provides privacy and security, but allows breezes and sunlight to penetrate. |
 |
|
Although the architects were able to add an extra floor, they say it was essential to retain the original gabled roof form. |
 |
|
The white blockwork has transformed the exterior. |
 |
|
Sliding doors open up to the outdoors, without sacrificing security. |
 |
|
Organic tiles and niche shelving are features of the living spaces. |
 |
|
Contemporary furniture is in keeping with the architecture. |
 |
|
Green plants on the balconies bring nature to the upper levels, while the blockwork exterior provides privacy. |
 |
|
Every room was reworked in the renovation. |
 |
|
Bathrooms are lined with marble tiles. |
 |
| Sleek white cabinets provide plenty of storage in the bedrooms. |
